I Know in My Heart It's Not You

I Should've Always Thought of You

After what happened at the surprise show, it was expected that fans from both Paramore and Bring Me the Horizon had a lot to take in. It wasn't an every day occurrence for them to witness the two lead vocalists of two very different bands making out, which meant that there were different reactions to this event. Some fans—mostly of the female gender—responded with high-pitched squeals while others had more of a "holy shit" reaction. Few had even claimed they saw this coming. Whatever their reactions were, it revolved around Hayley and Oli's big concert kiss.

This brought up plenty of questions from people when they managed to approach the bands afterward. Of course, since it all happened at Paramore's show, Hayley had to deal with more questions than Oli did, mainly from a group of three girls who couldn't stop saying how cute they were together. This actually amused her and she was surprisingly handling things well about her newfound relationship. For one, she wasn't trying to hide this from anyone like she had done before and she was able to draw all the attention away from herself to give the rest of the band the credit they deserved.

From the group of girls, the one with blonde hair was the first to speak. "Your show was amazing! And seriously, you singing for that guy and kissing him at the end was so cute!"

Her friend, a brunette, cut into the conversation. "So, is this guy your boyfriend?"

"Boyfriend?" Hayley repeated, the word suddenly sounding foreign to her. It had been so long since she let that word come out her mouth and it was strange to be saying it after what seemed like forever. At that moment, she looked past the girls to see Oli waving at her and standing a good distance away so the girls wouldn't notice him. She grinned at him and her heart started beating fast again as he flashed her a smile. It took just a simple question and mention of the "B" word for it to hit her that yes, Oli had become this word. The word that she wasn't afraid of saying anymore. "Yeah, I guess he is my boyfriend now."

"Awww," they all gushed and sighed in admiration.

"But he's not just my boyfriend," Hayley pointed out. "His name's Oli and he's in a band called Bring Me the Horizon. They're an incredible band and you guys should check them out. But I'll talk all about this later. Right now, you all should definitely chat with Josh, Zac, Jeremy, and Taylor. Our show wouldn't have been amazing if it weren't for them."

The three girls then left to find the other bandmates and that finally gave Oli the chance to walk up to her.

She reached out and held his hand. "Hey, you."

"Hey to you, too," he smirked as their fingers intertwined. "Boyfriend, huh?"

Hayley smirked back at him. "How much did you hear?"

"All of it," he chuckled.

"Well, you should thank me," she laughed and rolled her eyes. "I just gave your band three new fans."

"Depending on how they are, they might be new fans," Oli joked. "Our music seems to scare girls away."

"You didn't scare me away," she told him.

"Yeah," he nodded. "I didn't."

"And I'm glad you didn't."

"I am, too."

She kissed his cheek and they began walking toward the buses, her hand still in his. Oli looked down at their hands, realizing that it had been a while since he had ever held hands with anyone and he never thought he'd end up holding hands with Hayley. Just last year they had met because he happened to be in her town and he found her sitting alone on the sidewalk. Back then, he saw her as a girl from a band who needed help and whatever she needed help with, Oli walked up to her in hopes of giving it to her. All because of that, she became more than just a girl who needed help. She ended up being one of his closest friends. She was someone who was always there to help him. Then a surprise show brought them together again and that was when everything changed. They weren't just friends. Not anymore.
